Rochester 5 Syracuse 3
• Duke (L, 11-5) 7IP, 10H, 5R, 4ER, 0BB, 3K
• Lehman 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Teahen 3-4, R, HR, RBI
• Rivero 2-4, R
• Carroll, Valdez – OF assist at HP

A four-run 4th would be the difference as the Red Wings clipped the Chiefs, 5-3. Zach Duke lost for the second time in three starts since the All-Star break, giving up all five Rochester runs on 10 hits and no walks over seven innings. Mark Teahen homered while going 3-for-4 to lead the Syracuse offense, which included rehabbers Jayson Werth (0-3, 2BB) and Chad Tracy (0-3, BB) while OFs Brett Carroll and Jesus Valdez both gunned down a runner at the plate to shine on defense.

New Hampshire 8 Harrisburg 3
• Demny (L, 6-6) 5IP, 6H, 5R, 4ER, 5BB, 2K, 2HBP
• Nelo 1⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, BB, K
• Rahl 2-4, R, 2B, RBI, SB(25)
• Goodwin 1-5, R, HR, RBI

Brian Goodwin homered for the second straight game, but Harrisburg dropped the rubber game of the series with an 8-3 loss to New Hampshire. Starter Paul Demny rolled three double plays but the five walks, two hit batsmen, and six hits led to five runs in his five innings pitched. Chris Rahl singled, doubled, stole a base, scored a run, and drove in a run to lead the Sens offense. After a 2-5 homestand, Harrisburg heads across PA and into NJ for a five-game set against the Trenton Thunder.

Lynchburg 3 Potomac 1
• Meyer 6IP, 2H, 1R, 0ER, BB, 5K
• Barthmaier (L, 0-1) 2IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 0BB, 2K
• Taylor 1-3, R, SB
• Souza 1-3, BB, SB

The Hillcats broke through with two in the last of 8th to win this pitcher’s duel, 3-1. Alex Meyer kept his ERA perfect, allowing just an unearned run on two hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five. Both teams managed just six hits, but four of them came against losing pitcher Jimmy Barthmaier, who pitched the last two frames and suffered the loss. Michael Taylor singled, walked, stole a base, and scored the sole Potomac run.

Lakewood 10 Hagerstown 3
• Hansen (L, 2-2) 4⅓ IP, 7H, 4R, 3ER, 5BB, 4K, HR
• Burns 2-4, R, RBI
• Skole 1-3, BB, RBI

Two crooked numbers in the middle innings by Lakewood broke open a 2-2 game as Hagerstown would go on to lose this one, 10-3. The three Suns pitchers all struggled with their control, combining for nine walks, four wild pitches, and two hit batsmen. Bobby Hansen Jr. was charged with the loss, giving up the first four runs (three earned) on seven hits and five walks over four and 1/3rd innings. He also struck out four. The Suns were held to seven hits total, with Billy Burns and Matt Skole both reaching base twice and combining for three hits and two RBI.

Auburn 8 Vermont 7
• Fischer 4+ IP, 7H, 5R, 3ER, 2BB, K
• Davis 3IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Waterman (W, 2-0) 1IP, 1H, R, ER, BB, K
• Norfork 4-5, 3R, 2B, RBI
• Manuel 2-4, R, BB
• McQuillan 2-5, 2R, BB, HR, 3RBI

Mike McQuillan’s first professional home run was made even more memorable as the two-run shot in the 10th was a walkoff that turned a 7-6 loss into an 8-7 win for Auburn. The see-saw affair started with the Doubledays building a 5-0 lead after three, only to see the Lake Monsters roar back with five in the 5th to tie it. Starter David Fischer was charged with all five of those runs when he failed to retire any of the five batter he faced in the fifth, giving up seven hits and two walks total over four-plus innings. Eliot Waterman got the win despite giving up the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th. Khayyan Norfork led the hit column with a 4-for-5 night, scoring three runs and driving in one. Roster move: 3B Anthony Rendon transferred from the GCL (rehab). Auburn Citizen beat writer Ben Meyer has the story.

GCL Cardinals 5 GCL Nationals 4
• Selsor 4IP, 7H, 4R, 3ER, BB, 2K
• Mudron (L, 0-1) 4IP, H, R, ER, BB, 2K
• D. Eusebio 3-4, R
• Lippincott 3-4, R, 2B, RBI

A hit batsman, steal and a single in the 6th proved to be the game-winning sequence as the G-Cards edged the G-Nats, 5-4. Casey Selsor got the start and went four innings, but was touched for four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out two. Mike Mudron suffered the loss with the aforementioned sequence in four innings. Diomedes Eusebio and Bryan Lippincott both went 3-for-4 on the afternoon. Roster move: RHP Wilson Eusebio assigned from Hagerstown (rehab).

DSL Yankees1 5 DSL Nationals 3
• Silvestre (L, 3-3) 4IP, 5H, 4R, 3ER, 3BB, 3K
• Ramirez 1⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 3K, 2-0 IR-S
• Novas 3-4, 2-2B, RBI
• De Los Santos 2-4, R

The DSL Nationals rallied for three in the 8th, but it was too little, too late as the DSL Yankees1 held on to beat them, 5-3. Hector Silvestre took the loss with four runs allowed on five hits and three walks over four innings while striking out three. Randy Novas doubled twice while going 3-for-4 with an RBI to lead the D-Nat offense.
